Seeing a big “politics” community in both lemmy.ml and lemmy.world just confuses me as to which I should be subscribing to and I don’t really want to subscribe to both.

Guess this is just a downside of federated instances? There’ll never just be one “/r/politics” on Lemmy?

I second this idea. But everyone wants to be king of their own castle so either mods need to share responsibility on a single community. Lemmy supports cross instance mods so no need to have multiple accounts.

We are still in the early days of the fediverse. Once this thing gets figured out and stabilized, I think we could see some progress in consolidating duplicate communities…

But does the broader group of users want this model?

I think the majority of people want this. Posters and lurkers who want specific content. Especially for topics that don't have a constant flood of posts. Thinking the communities where you go to actively scroll instead of reading all/new.

Maybe a solution is coming up with personal lists. Add all communities for a topic and then scroll them all together.
